Boy Scout Camp

Eddie left last Sunday morning to spend a week at Boy Scout camp. He was so excited about going.

On Friday it was family night and any family members could come up for dinner. Ed and I drove up on Friday afternoon. Eddie didnt know we were coming because I wasnt sure we would be able too. Finding him was not as hard as we thought it might be. There were 900 scouts there, luckily they were all at the dining hall, unluckily they all wore the same uniform!! However, I spotted a scout with his troop number on his uniform pretty quickly and we were able to find him fast. He was so surprised! This picture is him in front of the archery range. He worked on 3 different merit badges, archery, first aid, and fishing. He completed the first aid and fishing.


We sent him 2 care packages, the first one arrived on Tuesday and the second one he got today. He is opening it with his new knife that we bought him since he now has earned his Totin' Chit (meaning he can carry a knife and knows how to use it safely).








Marty and Dave, this one is for you. Here he is explaining how big his bass fish was that he caught. Typical fisherman! He had to catch 2 fish to complete the merit badge and he had to clean and filet them! So next time you go fishing, he can clean and filet them for you!!




There were 22 different "campsites" for all the boys. Eddies troop got the furthest one away from all the main activites! Eddie took us to show us the campsite and his tent. Each tent is for two boys. He shared with his good friend, Austin.





He is standing in front of the Mountain Man area. This was a program that he went through at the camp for first time campers. He learned lots of new stuff and had a great time. He will be home tomorrow around noon.
